Joe Wilson demanded Sen. Kerry apologize, for his comment in 1971, back in 2004.
Wilson is ignorant and partisan to an extreme.

"During the 2004 presidential campaign, Wilson demanded that Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, the eventual Democratic presidential nominee, apologize for having criticized the U.S. troops in Vietnam in 1971. Kerry was a Navy veteran who had served in Vietnam.

Wilson’s call for a Kerry apology set off a round of acrimonious debate. Former Democratic Senator Max Cleland of Georgia, a triple amputee who served in Vietnam, called Wilson a “chicken hawk” who supported military action without ever having gone to war, according to the Almanac of American Politics."

1. Joe Wilson is turning into the antiChuck Norris, isn't he?
"Joe Wilson doesn't attend presidential addresses. He gives them."
